 Contents

5G positioning resources and opportunities

high carrier frequency mm wave, high penetration / diffraction losses

I propagation dominated by LOS
I channel highly dependent on position and orientation

large bandwidth ∼ 100 MHz, improved delay resolution and time-based

accuracy; reduced latency
massive antenna arrays allow more effective beamforming, and accurate
AoA estimation
D2D communication high speed, high density, low latency, allows
dissemination, cooperative positioning, relative positioning
ultra dense networks increase number and diversity of reference points,
higher LOS probability
